Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was extremely dirty, I found trash stashed between the wall and side table. Smelled a bit moldy, there was dust by the bed. Customers service was the horrendous. People there don’t acknowledge your existence and they rather socialize among themselves rather than the guest. They are loud and you can hear them in your room. Overall, I had a horrible experience and I would not recommend this property.

Super social hostel in the heart of Getsemani. “Micro rooms” are great value for money and surprisingly spacious. Wifi is strong too. Minor criticisms include the painful check-in process - I’ve opened bank accounts quicker - and the prices for drinks are way too high for a hostel. Fortunately all the cool street bars are right on your doorstep so this wasn’t an issue for us. Would recommend!

Bad smell and rooms with no windows
The room we stayed had no windows and it smelled really bad. At the hotel they took a long time to change rooms and even the new room was not working. The AC was leaking and it also had a very bad smell. For the price I would expect something better.

Dirty, loud, uncomfortable and rude
What a bad experience 1. Dirty shower. Hairs all over the shower 2. No space between toilet and wall. Had to sit down with open legs 3. Uncomfortable pillows 4. Guard at night was super rude and disrespectful 5. Extremely loud at night. You could hear all the hallway and neighbors. Conclusion: never going back to a hole like this
